Ark: Survival Evolved has come a long way since its early access release back in 2015. Various features have been added to the game while many of the original mechanics have been further refined. These changes have helped the game to sell millions of copies and continue to placate its large and dedicated player base. One particular addition that has proven to be particularly popular is the Tek Hover Skiff, which was added to the game as part of its fourth DLC expansion pack, Genesis: Part 1....

Pedro Pascal has been the talk of the town as of late for his role as the Mandalorian in the Disney Plus Star Wars series. The actor has also appeared in Game of Thrones and most recently, played the villain in the latest DC blockbuster, Wonder Woman 1984. And now, the actor is receiving even more attention, as he has been officially cast in the role of Joel Miller in the upcoming HBO live-action adaption of The Last of Us, the award-winning action-adventure title from Sony and Naughty Dog that originally released in 2013 for the PS3....

Fans of MMOs have certainly been able to play their fair share in recent years. While multiple studios have plans to develop their own MMOs based on existing IP, the folks at Intrepid Studios are hard at work developing the new fantasy MMO Ashes of Creation. Steven Sharif, the Creative Director for the game, penned a letter to the game’s community providing an update on the game’s progress. For the unaware, Ashes of Creation is still in development, but is promising an innovative, player-influenced experience....

A whole lot has been rumored and leaked about the upcoming Assassin’s Creed: Ragnarok, the highly anticipated next entry in the long-running franchise. Much like any other Ubisoft title, there’s been a lot of hints about what to expect from a Viking time period Assassin’s Creed game. So far it’s a pretty safe bet the next game will be everything Norse, but seems to be drawing some inspiration from a previous entry in many of its supposed themes....

Something that was created by the developers specifically to link Assassin’s Creed Valhalla to the rest of the franchise is called an Animus Anomaly. It involves jumping across a series of platforms, climbing, and solving puzzles to make it to the end. Once there, a secret recording is revealed and you will need to complete all of the anomalies for it to make sense. There are ten Animus Anomalies scattered across the map, and they are progressively more difficult as you move through the game....

Frank Zappa’s 200 Motels is an education in musical composition, soundtrack recordings, and rock history. In celebration of its 50th anniversary, Zappa Records, UMe, and MGM assembled a definitive Super Deluxe six-disc box set of the soundtrack, which drops on Dec. 17. The 200 Motels 50th Anniversary Edition was remastered by Bernie Grundman at Bernie Grundman Mastering, and includes unreleased and rare material from the Zappa music vault. The sound quality is excellent, the separation gives the multitude of instruments and voicings enough space to hear what is going on very clearly, though the music is still very dense....

For over twenty years now, the Pokémon franchise has captured the imagination of gamers everywhere. It started out as a simple concept: collect all 151 Pokémon, while simultaneously defeating the strongest Trainers in the land. Completing the Pokédex and becoming the Pokémon League Champion: these were the ultimate goals in Red and Blue. The franchise has come a long way since then: there are now 802 Pokémon to collect, in games that are full of fresh ideas and new challenges to overcome....

The Pokémon franchise became one of the most powerful pop-culture icons of the late 1990s. Pokémon Red Version and Blue Version took the entire world by storm and new games are released on an almost yearly basis, including potentially this year in what is likely going to be one of the most anticipated Pokémon titles ever in the series with the mainline Pokémon game on Nintendo Switch. In addition, the animated series was one of the best and most memorable cartoon shows of that time....

Digital Cameras Digital camera technology originally started life in early spy satellites where they were used to capture high-resolution aerial images of enemy installations. Walkie-talkies The classic walkie-talkie, like many things on this list, started life during WWII. Ambulances In around 1487, the very first ambulances appeared on the battlefield. Duct Tape During World War II, an adhesive tape was invented that was made from a rubber-based adhesive applied to a durable duck cloth backing....

Años de funcionamiento: 1985 - 2010 Destino: La competencia de Netflix y otros servicios de vídeo a la carta acabó provocando la desaparición de Blockbuster.

Video games are challenging to develop, taking hundreds of people years to create something fun. Development issues are incredibly common in the industry, usually resulting in delays or even the cancellation of a project. Some games get delayed so much they enter development hell, a phrase that refers to a project remaining in production for a much longer period than anticipated. It happens in any creative medium, but it’s especially prevalent in video games....

Ancient Greece gave us many quotes that people still use today. Some from characters featured in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey such as Sokrates, Sappho, and Leonidas. The game comes with many of its own memorable quotes. Some funny, some heartwarming, and others harshly real. When choosing which sibling to hear these quotes from, it comes down to what you want from the character. Despite the dialogue and options being the same, voice actors Melissanthi Mahut and Michael Antonakos do a great job of making the characters their own....

The Mass Effect game universe is a space opera starring Commander Shepard, the first human Spectre and a hero of the Systems Alliance. On the journey across the stars, the Commander meets many types of aliens, friends and foes, and must save the galaxy from Saren Arterius, the hive-minded Geth, and most of all, the powerful Reapers, invaders from beyond known spacce. And it might be time to polish that adventure a bit and give it a new coat of paint....

The original Persona 5 was released worldwide 2017 for the PlayStation 3 and the PlayStation 4. It’s a Japanese RPG set in the Shin Megami Tensei universe and despite being a spin-off from the mainline entries, the Persona series is the most mainstream. Persona 5 was one of the most critically acclaimed games of the last decade and for many fans, it ranks up there as one of the greatest RPGs of all time along with its predecessorPersona 4....

Talk about a blast from the past! Street Fighter Alpha 2 for Super Nintendo is making waves almost three decades after its release. Someone has finally discovered the cheat code to unlock Shin Akuma as a playable character in the fighting game. The code comes from a modder by the name of Gizaha who was tinkering with the game in order to make it run smoother. However, he instead stumbled upon the code or method that would allow players to use Shin Akuma who is a secret boss within the Arcade Mode of the game but not a playable character....

The toy collector community is a small and tight knit group, and one that is more cooperative than competitive. Toy store owners do more than get that Princess Diana Beanie Baby off the top shelf. The Nacelle Company has been on a quest to showcase and promote vintage toys with their docuseries A Toy Store Near You. All episodes of season 2 will be released on Christmas Day, Dec. 25, 2020....

PokePark has always been a bit of an ugly duckling in the Pokemon franchise. I like to think that it had some influence on New Pokemon Snap, although it’s such an infamously naff Pokemon spin-off that I doubt anyone involved would ever admit it. Regardless of how directly PokePark helped shape Snap though, it seems like its success could pave the way for another crack at the PokePark franchise. For most people, that suggestion would probably draw a shrug, or maybe even an eyebrow raised in befuddlement....

This Altered Carbon review contains spoilers. Altered Carbon Episode 10 It’s a shame that a series that took the seemingly un-adaptable Altered Carbon and brought the cyberpunk vision so beautifully to life ended with so many clichés and a drawn out conclusion. Although the open-ended nature of Kovacs’ next quest and Ortega’s impending reunion with Riker was a nice touch for those wanting to draw their own conclusions (or those hoping for a season two), the pat ending for the Elliots was only halfway satisfying, and the comeuppance for the Bancrofts deserves a golf clap at best....

This Altered Carbon review contains spoilers. Altered Carbon Episode 9 With a show like Altered Carbon, which centers itself around the concept of being able to switch bodies as necessary, playing with misdirection and mistaken identity is a no-brainer. In “Rage in Heaven,” the use of sleeves to deceive is both demoralizing and inspiring, showing that anyone can use the technology to their advantage. The caper style antics are both fun and dangerous, but the reminder of the violence and degradation that’s at the core of Head in the Clouds establishment (and by extension Reileen herself) is chilling....
